The Sensor Description Became Part of the Signal
HALO conditions inertial channels on natural-language descriptions and aligns the resulting representation with activity labels.
Summary
HALO conditions inertial channels on natural-language descriptions and aligns the resulting representation with activity labels.
Trained on ten datasets and tested on seven held-out sets, the 35-million-parameter model led five baselines on all eight aggregate metrics and improved a broad zero-shot measure by 13.7 percentage points. Yet HALO and every comparator collapsed on two further datasets with severe distribution shift, an important limit on the open-set claim.
Why it matters
HALO conditions inertial channels on natural-language descriptions and aligns the resulting representation with activity labels.
Limits and context
No additional limitation was separately recorded.
Key claims
HALO conditions inertial channels on natural-language descriptions and aligns the resulting representation with activity labels.
